The Junior Class of the North Canton high school presented "Am I Intruding?" on Saturday night before
an audience that filled every section
of the large auditorium in the Community Building.
And the three acts went over the
footlights with a hang!
To the eye of a trained observer
.the cast was adapted to suit the play,
and to Miss Finney should go praise
for the excellent judgement she displayed in selecting and training her
wards. It is doubtful if a more capable
company would be picked even among
semi-professionals. The Sun has seen
road companies, touted as "big city
second companies playing the provinces," but they didn't give a better
performance that did the Juniors on
Saturday , night. In fact, many of
them would be outclassed by the
North Canton performers.
To select any one individual for
special praise would be an injustice
to the others in the cast. Each player
put warm-blooded enthusiasm into the
part, and the audience left the building proud of their school and the
thespian talent it contains.
The North Canton school orchestra,
under the direction of E. C. Rhodes,
lived up to its high-class reputation
and the music was greatly enjoyed.

We were- pleased with our attendance on Sunday. We had 421 in the
Sunday-school. A fine audience also
greeted us at the church service.
We realize we are rapidly approaching the Easter season. We are planning to observe Holy Week, which
begins with next Sunday, Palm Sunday. Rev. John C. Gekeler, pastor of

preach week-night evenings from
Monday to Thursday. Services will

to plan to attend all these meetings.
It will be worth your while. Will those
who contemplate uniting with us arrange to be in readiness for admission
by Easter? Let us make this a glorious Easter, each experiencing anew
His resurrection power.
Easter will begin with an early
service of prayer and praise at 7:30
o'clock. We hold our regular Easter
communion at the 10 o'clock service.
We are looking for a fine large communicant representation at the Lord's
table.

GOING TO EUROPE
Mrs. W. D. Magruder will leave for
New York on Thursday accompanied
by her husband. She will leave that
city with an aunt for a month's travel
in Europe, visiting London and Paris
and spending Easter at Notre Dame.
Mr. Magruder will return home after
his wife sails.
Mrs. Mary J. Wait, residing on
Woodside avenue off East Maple
street, North Canton, inserted an advertisement in The Sun last week
offering her entire household -roods
for sale as she is going to move out
of town. The ad was to run three
weeks in The People's Column, but
on Monday morning Mrs. Wait visited
The Sun and smilingly explained that
"Everything is sold except the lawn
mower, and I suppose that will go,
too, when the sun begins to shine."
But let Mrs. Wait tell what hap-
pend: "Shortly after The Sun was
delivered to subscribers on Wednesday evening I was soon aware that
many people had read my adveitise-
ment. Thursday the crowd became
larger, the people coming in from the
rural routes. So busy was I disposing
of my goods that I had little or no
time to prepare meals for the members of my family.
"I am sorry that people came from
a distance only to find that the household goods had been sold. I had been
told by one of my neighbors that if
I had anything to sell the proper place
to advertise it was in The Sun, and
certainly she knew what she was talking about. I never realized before this
sale the wonderful drawing power of
a newspaper ad. Think of-the worry,
the bother and the money I saved by
holding a private sale instead of a
public auction. I am told that The
Sun thoroughly covers this town and
adjacent territory, and judging from
the distance some persons came to
buy my goods it must be so."
The price of an ad in The People's
Column of The Sun is 25 cents a week
for five lines or less. Cash must accompany the order as we do not keep
books on this column. It is the best
advertising for the money to found
anywhere, and it shows conclusively
that the people read The Sun!
COMMUNITY CHORUS
The boys' basketball team ended a
remarkably successful season by winning eighteen games out of twenty
played and piling up a score of 535
points to their opponents' 219.
The North Canton boys averaged
26% points a game while their opponents could only average 10. They
won both the county league championship and the county tournament
and the school and community can
well feel proud of such a team. Hard,
faithful practice combined with interest, ability and the determination
to fight to win were the dominating
factors in the team's success.
The personnel of the team is as
follows: Captain, Tony Grant.
Forwards, Myron Hummel, Ralph
Warburton, Raymond Nelius, Paul
Evans, Clyde Schiltz.
Centers, Glenn Warstler, Fred Hall.
Guards, Bernard Hagelbarger,
Percy Willaman, John Swope.
Of this group only three will be
graduated, and with fine material in
sight from the eighth grade the prospects are bright for ^another winning
team next year.
Scoring Well Divided
The scoring was well divided this
year, the team having no individual
star. However, Glenn Warstler had a
little edge over the others and leads
the scoring with 170 points. The team
played a passing game and were content to divide the. scoring honors
among its members, consequently we
find no real high point man on the
squad. That is a real sign of good
co-operation and team work.

While abroad Mr. Hoover met
many men whose names are
familiar to newspaper, readers,
among them being His Holiness
the Pope. The Rev. Ralph C.
Kotheimer, pastor of St. Paul's
church, North Canton, gave Mr.
Hoover a letter to a friend residing in Rome, and through this
friend Mr. Hoover secured an
audience with the Pope who discussed many subjects with the

BOY SCOUT NEWS
Some Amusing Answers Gleaned
From First Aid Papers.
[Contributed to The Sun]
In learning "First Aid," the boys
find many difficulties, as the test
papers show. These are some of the
brighter "cracks" recently noted.
"A fertilized dressing is the best
because it's free from germs and other
insects."
"A dislocation is when the head
slips out of its socket."
"If I saw an old man ly*ng unconscious with one of his legs doubled up
under him. I would see if something
might have happened to him."
"The best way to stop a mad dog
is to either hit him with a stick or
climb a tree."
"Do not get your head warm. Keep
cool," is one of the first general directions, says John.

THE DEATH ROLL
RUTH ANNA -MILLER
Ruth Anna, infant daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Miller of West Maple
street, died in the early hours of Friday morning after an illness of two
weeks. Funeral services were held in
St. Paul's church on Monday morning
and interment made in the church
cemetery.
The baby is survived by her parents, two brothers and two sisters.
Little 'Kuth Anna, 10 month old, was
operated on about two weeks ago because of telescoped bowels. Pneumonia later developed and was the
chief cause of death.
AT THE OLD STAND
J. L. Hartong Specializes In Rugs
and Weaving Carpets.
J. L. Hartong, who purchased the
rug business from J. J. Drayer in
Greentown, two years ago, is still doing business at the old stand, one
block north of the M. E. church, and
he handles all kinds of floor covering
from what is known as "fair to the
highest grade." He also specializes
in weaving carpets and rugs and a
customer may select any border that
suits his or her fancy. His prices are
right, too.
The reasons for an adjustment of
natural gas rates in North Canton
were given to the town Council on
Monday night by John J. McMahon
of Cleveland, an official of tne East
Ohio Gas Co., which now supplies
this town with gas. He explained
that increased costs in the production
and distribution of natural gas, together with its growing scarcity,
made a slight increase necessary.
Mayor Lewis and members of Council
asked Mr. McMahon a number of
questions and he answered each in a
way to show that the company had.
nothing to conceal; in fact, several
times he urged upon his hearers the
advisability of conserving gas as it
was becoming scarce in the fields of
West Virginia. It was apparent to all
that Mr. McMahons object in visiting
North Canton was to talk business to
business men in a business-like manner.
Drop 90c Minimum Charge
By the terms of the new gas settlement the minimum charge of 90 cents
is eliminated and a service charge of?
60 cents takes its place. The increase
per thousand feet of gas is a straight
increase of five cents to the schedule
which now obtains here. Thus, the
price proposed is 50 cents per thousand for the first 5000 cubic feet, 55
cents a thousand for the next 5000,
60 cents per thousand for the next
5000, and 65 cents per thousand for
all gas consumed in excess of 15,000.
The rates are per month.
Mr. McMahon explained the service
charge in place of a minimum charge,
as a means of covering certain definite costs of gas service, with greater
equity between customers. Thus, if
these items of gas service expense
were absorbed in the rates for the gas
itself, it would mean an injustice to
the average consumer, who would
have to pay considerably more in his
monthly bill than he does if the service expenses themselves, which average the same for each consumer, are
paid separately.
Pays For Gas Consumed
"With a service charge in effect,"
Mr. McMahon said, "every consumer
pays for just the gas he burns, and
for just the work that the company
must perform to maintain him as a
customer and maintain service which
is equally at the demand of each customer. These expenses have no bearing whatever on the amount of gas
he burns, or if he bums any gas at
all. They are bookkeeping, postage,
meter reading, inspection of property
devoted to his service and not to the
production of gas, etc."
Many questions were asked Mr;
McMahon which brought out that the
minimum charge was at best an
awkward substitute for a service
charge, and is frequently as unjust
to a consumer as to the company. The
tendency of modern business methods
to account for all costs and classify
them properly was generally regarded
as best, in the long run, for all parties concerned.
Gas Is Getting Scarce
In regard to the duration of the
natural gas supply Mr. McMahon was
frankly unable to be at all confident.
The supplies are decreasing year by
year, he said, from the great inroads
that are made constantly upon them,
and there is no restorative process.
Natural gas i.s no longer being made
and we are buring fuel from nature's
storehouse, the same as we are burning coal that was made ages ago and :
is no longer being renewed.
The definite end of natural gas lie
predicted was in sight, but he added
that in some of the bigger cities the
supply i.s augmented by manufactured
gas which makes a very satisfactory
fuel. In Buffalo, he said, later, a big
artificial gas plant is being Constructed now to boost the supply of
natural gas, which no longer i.s
enough to take care of that city.
It was an intei-esting session of
council and a most instructive insight
into the extent of operation th-* are
necessary before a housewife can
"turn the handle and light the gas."
Depletion of the gas fields, a reduced
supply, and, in consequence, less sales
with which to maintain operating
co.sts, was given as a very large reason for the necessity of an increase
price at the present time. Mrs. Mc-
Mahon urged people to study better
methods of burning gas, which helps
to prolong the supply, and told about
the work of the company's education
department which helps consumers in
this way.
North Canton has enjoyed natural
gas for fifteen years.
Want Street Paved
A petition was read from property
owners on West Summit street between the west line of South Main
street and the cast line of Woodland
road for the improvement of Summit
street, asking for grading, curbing
and paving.
A communication from the officials
of the N. O. T. stated that they had
no cinders to sell and would have none
until fall. As a result Hower street
must do without cinders.
Lewis Smith, the park superintendent, and W. H. Stover, assistant-
superintendent, both having the authority of policemen, will enter upon
their duties in May.

The Junior Class of the North Canton high school presented "Am I Intruding?" on Saturday night before
an audience that filled every section
of the large auditorium in the Community Building.
And the three acts went over the
footlights with a hang!
To the eye of a trained observer
.the cast was adapted to suit the play,
and to Miss Finney should go praise
for the excellent judgement she displayed in selecting and training her
wards. It is doubtful if a more capable
company would be picked even among
semi-professionals. The Sun has seen
road companies, touted as "big city
second companies playing the provinces," but they didn't give a better
performance that did the Juniors on
Saturday , night. In fact, many of
them would be outclassed by the
North Canton performers.
To select any one individual for
special praise would be an injustice
to the others in the cast. Each player
put warm-blooded enthusiasm into the
part, and the audience left the building proud of their school and the
thespian talent it contains.
The North Canton school orchestra,
under the direction of E. C. Rhodes,
lived up to its high-class reputation
and the music was greatly enjoyed.

We were- pleased with our attendance on Sunday. We had 421 in the
Sunday-school. A fine audience also
greeted us at the church service.
We realize we are rapidly approaching the Easter season. We are planning to observe Holy Week, which
begins with next Sunday, Palm Sunday. Rev. John C. Gekeler, pastor of
the Reformed church, Massillon, will
preach week-night evenings from
Monday to Thursday. Services will
begin at 7:30 o'clock. You will want
to plan to attend all these meetings.
It will be worth your while. Will those
who contemplate uniting with us arrange to be in readiness for admission
by Easter? Let us make this a glorious Easter, each experiencing anew
His resurrection power.
Easter will begin with an early
service of prayer and praise at 7:30
o'clock. We hold our regular Easter
communion at the 10 o'clock service.
We are looking for a fine large communicant representation at the Lord's
table.

GOING TO EUROPE
Mrs. W. D. Magruder will leave for
New York on Thursday accompanied
by her husband. She will leave that
city with an aunt for a month's travel
in Europe, visiting London and Paris
and spending Easter at Notre Dame.
Mr. Magruder will return home after
his wife sails.
Mrs. Mary J. Wait, residing on
Woodside avenue off East Maple
street, North Canton, inserted an advertisement in The Sun last week
offering her entire household -roods
for sale as she is going to move out
of town. The ad was to run three
weeks in The People's Column, but
on Monday morning Mrs. Wait visited
The Sun and smilingly explained that
"Everything is sold except the lawn
mower, and I suppose that will go,
too, when the sun begins to shine."
But let Mrs. Wait tell what hap-
pend: "Shortly after The Sun was
delivered to subscribers on Wednesday evening I was soon aware that
many people had read my adveitise-
ment. Thursday the crowd became
larger, the people coming in from the
rural routes. So busy was I disposing
of my goods that I had little or no
time to prepare meals for the members of my family.
"I am sorry that people came from
a distance only to find that the household goods had been sold. I had been
told by one of my neighbors that if
I had anything to sell the proper place
to advertise it was in The Sun, and
certainly she knew what she was talking about. I never realized before this
sale the wonderful drawing power of
a newspaper ad. Think of-the worry,
the bother and the money I saved by
holding a private sale instead of a
public auction. I am told that The
Sun thoroughly covers this town and
adjacent territory, and judging from
the distance some persons came to
buy my goods it must be so."
The price of an ad in The People's
Column of The Sun is 25 cents a week
for five lines or less. Cash must accompany the order as we do not keep
books on this column. It is the best
advertising for the money to found
anywhere, and it shows conclusively
that the people read The Sun!
COMMUNITY CHORUS
The boys' basketball team ended a
remarkably successful season by winning eighteen games out of twenty
played and piling up a score of 535
points to their opponents' 219.
The North Canton boys averaged
26% points a game while their opponents could only average 10. They
won both the county league championship and the county tournament
and the school and community can
well feel proud of such a team. Hard,
faithful practice combined with interest, ability and the determination
to fight to win were the dominating
factors in the team's success.
The personnel of the team is as
follows: Captain, Tony Grant.
Forwards, Myron Hummel, Ralph
Warburton, Raymond Nelius, Paul
Evans, Clyde Schiltz.
Centers, Glenn Warstler, Fred Hall.
Guards, Bernard Hagelbarger,
Percy Willaman, John Swope.
Of this group only three will be
graduated, and with fine material in
sight from the eighth grade the prospects are bright for ^another winning
team next year.
Scoring Well Divided
The scoring was well divided this
year, the team having no individual
star. However, Glenn Warstler had a
little edge over the others and leads
the scoring with 170 points. The team
played a passing game and were content to divide the. scoring honors
among its members, consequently we
find no real high point man on the
squad. That is a real sign of good
co-operation and team work.

BOY SCOUT NEWS
Some Amusing Answers Gleaned
From First Aid Papers.
[Contributed to The Sun]
In learning "First Aid," the boys
find many difficulties, as the test
papers show. These are some of the
brighter "cracks" recently noted.
"A fertilized dressing is the best
because it's free from germs and other
insects."
"A dislocation is when the head
slips out of its socket."
"If I saw an old man ly*ng unconscious with one of his legs doubled up
under him. I would see if something
might have happened to him."
"The best way to stop a mad dog
is to either hit him with a stick or
climb a tree."
"Do not get your head warm. Keep
cool," is one of the first general directions, says John.

THE DEATH ROLL
RUTH ANNA -MILLER
Ruth Anna, infant daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Miller of West Maple
street, died in the early hours of Friday morning after an illness of two
weeks. Funeral services were held in
St. Paul's church on Monday morning
and interment made in the church
cemetery.
The baby is survived by her parents, two brothers and two sisters.
Little 'Kuth Anna, 10 month old, was
operated on about two weeks ago because of telescoped bowels. Pneumonia later developed and was the
chief cause of death.
AT THE OLD STAND
J. L. Hartong Specializes In Rugs
and Weaving Carpets.
J. L. Hartong, who purchased the
rug business from J. J. Drayer in
Greentown, two years ago, is still doing business at the old stand, one
block north of the M. E. church, and
he handles all kinds of floor covering
from what is known as "fair to the
highest grade." He also specializes
in weaving carpets and rugs and a
customer may select any border that
suits his or her fancy. His prices are
right, too.
The reasons for an adjustment of
natural gas rates in North Canton
were given to the town Council on
Monday night by John J. McMahon
of Cleveland, an official of tne East
Ohio Gas Co., which now supplies
this town with gas. He explained
that increased costs in the production
and distribution of natural gas, together with its growing scarcity,
made a slight increase necessary.
Mayor Lewis and members of Council
asked Mr. McMahon a number of
questions and he answered each in a
way to show that the company had.
nothing to conceal; in fact, several
times he urged upon his hearers the
advisability of conserving gas as it
was becoming scarce in the fields of
West Virginia. It was apparent to all
that Mr. McMahons object in visiting
North Canton was to talk business to
business men in a business-like manner.
Drop 90c Minimum Charge
By the terms of the new gas settlement the minimum charge of 90 cents
is eliminated and a service charge of?
60 cents takes its place. The increase
per thousand feet of gas is a straight
increase of five cents to the schedule
which now obtains here. Thus, the
price proposed is 50 cents per thousand for the first 5000 cubic feet, 55
cents a thousand for the next 5000,
60 cents per thousand for the next
5000, and 65 cents per thousand for
all gas consumed in excess of 15,000.
The rates are per month.
Mr. McMahon explained the service
charge in place of a minimum charge,
as a means of covering certain definite costs of gas service, with greater
equity between customers. Thus, if
these items of gas service expense
were absorbed in the rates for the gas
itself, it would mean an injustice to
the average consumer, who would
have to pay considerably more in his
monthly bill than he does if the service expenses themselves, which average the same for each consumer, are
paid separately.
Pays For Gas Consumed
"With a service charge in effect,"
Mr. McMahon said, "every consumer
pays for just the gas he burns, and
for just the work that the company
must perform to maintain him as a
customer and maintain service which
is equally at the demand of each customer. These expenses have no bearing whatever on the amount of gas
he burns, or if he bums any gas at
all. They are bookkeeping, postage,
meter reading, inspection of property
devoted to his service and not to the
production of gas, etc."
Many questions were asked Mr;
McMahon which brought out that the
minimum charge was at best an
awkward substitute for a service
charge, and is frequently as unjust
to a consumer as to the company. The
tendency of modern business methods
to account for all costs and classify
them properly was generally regarded
as best, in the long run, for all parties concerned.
Gas Is Getting Scarce
In regard to the duration of the
natural gas supply Mr. McMahon was
frankly unable to be at all confident.
The supplies are decreasing year by
year, he said, from the great inroads
that are made constantly upon them,
and there is no restorative process.
Natural gas i.s no longer being made
and we are buring fuel from nature's
storehouse, the same as we are burning coal that was made ages ago and :
is no longer being renewed.
The definite end of natural gas lie
predicted was in sight, but he added
that in some of the bigger cities the
supply i.s augmented by manufactured
gas which makes a very satisfactory
fuel. In Buffalo, he said, later, a big
artificial gas plant is being Constructed now to boost the supply of
natural gas, which no longer i.s
enough to take care of that city.
It was an intei-esting session of
council and a most instructive insight
into the extent of operation th-* are
necessary before a housewife can
"turn the handle and light the gas."
Depletion of the gas fields, a reduced
supply, and, in consequence, less sales
with which to maintain operating
co.sts, was given as a very large reason for the necessity of an increase
price at the present time. Mrs. Mc-
Mahon urged people to study better
methods of burning gas, which helps
to prolong the supply, and told about
the work of the company's education
department which helps consumers in
this way.
North Canton has enjoyed natural
gas for fifteen years.
Want Street Paved
A petition was read from property
owners on West Summit street between the west line of South Main
street and the cast line of Woodland
road for the improvement of Summit
street, asking for grading, curbing
and paving.
A communication from the officials
of the N. O. T. stated that they had
no cinders to sell and would have none
until fall. As a result Hower street
must do without cinders.
Lewis Smith, the park superintendent, and W. H. Stover, assistant-
superintendent, both having the authority of policemen, will enter upon
their duties in May.
